Anyone fishing the Irvine derby this weekend? I will be there on Sunday. I talked with my dog catmando and he will be working Sunday Morn there so give him a holla. I will be there more than likely with my son so holla if you see us.

BanginBob on the wire:

Are you fishing from the shore or boat? With all the haters from the other boards, I may just show up in hopes to win the tourney and put the smack down on these haters...

That would be helluva funny bob. Don't trip on those fools. I know your really into fishing and do not mean to spark trouble. But you know that with success you will have haters. Kind of comes with the territory.

Make sure while your at the fred hall show that you look into the halibut derby coming up at Marina Del Rey. Its always a good one. I'll holla at you at the fred hall show and at Sarl. I will be almost living there in March. LOL

Oh yeah forgot. I will be fishing from shore proboly the 1st or second point off the west shore. Should be dry enough by Sunday to drive on the west shore hopefully.

I called irvine and they said they didnt plant this week! did they plant

banginbob on the wire:

Vine did not plant, straight from Steve Carson due to bad weather, and low census of anglers. Also, sources have indicated no tourney this weekend either. A call was made to the lake, and a lady told my source that the tourney was cancelled. Possibly no particpation?

Well if it was cancelled, I did not make it out anyway. Unexpected get together with friends spoiled my trip after I did not get home until 3am and did not wake up until 930am. Thats how it goes sometimes. I will make it there next week following there plant proboly next Sunday or earlier. Depends on how the bite is.

I talked with a buddy who worked there today during the morning hours and he said they had the derby. It was just a light crowd and the water was murky. Also it was kind of slow. He left around 1030am heading home so I do not know how the rest of the day went. It figures with the missed stocking that things may have tampered off as the fish proboly were suspended in different parts of the lake. It should be better next derby they have as long as they do not have missed stocking. I am guessing they will have aother 10,000 pound stocking soon in the making to supplement the missed one..

Also, anyone wondering what I look like. I am in this weeks WON with the 8.25 pound bow caught during the last derby at Irvine. My name is Brian Cummings. Its on pg 11 under the reports section. February 27th issue. Check it out.

Nice Fish! I have lime twist powebait, but i never use it.

also, how do u get in WON?

bluehunter · 02-29-2004, 01:13 PM

I always use lime twist. I also use lemon twist and orange twist. Irvine took my photo's and sent it in. Jim Niemic the owner did. You can also send in your own photos and they will post it as well.

DementedFish · 02-29-2004, 01:26 PM

o ok so hypethetically, if i catch a huge fish, take a pic, then release it (or cook it), i can send the pic to WON's email address and they might post it in the newspaper?

bluehunter · 02-29-2004, 03:48 PM

That is Correct. Most of the fish that Catmando has in Won he sent it in himself. So thats what you have to do. Just make sure you have doubles because I believe they do not sent the pics back.
